vBook: Michigan 34, Michigan State 31 (Final, OT)

I hate fucking Michigan, but I'm putting my v$$$s on them. Due to:

1) Michigan State might win but I don't think they will cover the spread. Michigan State has beat Michigan 3 times in the last 10 years, but by only 2 or 3 points:

2) Also, Michigan State's Stanton is putting up Heisman numbers:
<TABLE cellSpacing=1 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR align=middle bgColor=#ff0000><TD class=small-copy-sans align=left>Michigan State</TD><TD class=small-copy-sans vAlign=top align=right>Yds</TD><TD class=small-copy-sans vAlign=top align=right>Comp.%</TD><TD class=small-copy-sans vAlign=top align=right>Y/A</TD><TD class=small-copy-sans vAlign=top align=right>TD/INT</TD></TR><TR align=middle><TD class=small-copy-sans align=left bgColor=#ffdccb>Stanton, Drew</TD><TD class=small-copy-sans vAlign=top align=right>857</TD><TD class=small-copy-sans vAlign=top align=right>77.8</TD><TD class=small-copy-sans vAlign=top align=right>10.58</TD><TD class=small-copy-sans vAlign=top align=right>10/</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

but they were against some very weak teams (Hawaii, Kent State, & Illinois)

3) The only common opponent was Nortre Dame which both teams played close. Michigan State eking out a victory in OT and Michigan losing a close one 17-10.

#1. Don't fuck M*ch*g*n. Your junk will rot. Ask the Dead Schembechlers <--click to play song (probably best not to play at work)



#2. Not to nitpick... but scUM lost to ND. And they looked like crap doing it. The only reason MSU went to OT w/ND is that they took the foot off the pedal in the 4th quarter (Think NCSt at OSU, 2003).

Ok, so Michigan is 7-3 vs. Michigan State in 10 years. But it also looks like Michigan is only 2-3 in East Lansing. Combine that with the fact that Michigan's only 2 wins in 6 games came against MAC teams, and their defense is mediocre, at best, and I still don't think 5.5 points is high enough. I'd be surprised if Michigan State only wins by 17.

One msu fan I talked to, who actually follows their team, thinks one of two things will happen. msu will build a huge lead and never look back or michigan defense will have the msu offense out and take them completely out of their game. He does not expect it to come down to the last minute. Of course, he also thinks michigan will just break Stanton's leg in the first quarter so they can win. :wink2:

odd question here: has anyone noticed that stanton runs with a little twinkle in his step? seriously. when he runs, his arms are kept close to his sides, and his wrists have that odd angle, as if he's pressing down on something. lol. it looks a little effeminate to me.
